## Changelog

### 0.2.0 — 2026-11-01

- **Verified a fresh run of 400 unique Meesho reviews across 12 products in ~2.5 minutes** with 0 duplicates (de-duplicated by `reviewId`) and 100% coverage on all core identity fields (`productId`, `productName`, `productUrl`, `productPrice`, `productImage`, `rating`, `reviewId`, `averageRating`, `reviewDate`, `authorName`); `comment` at 90% (the rest are rating-only reviews) and `images` at 51% (reviews where buyers attached photos) — both confirmed data-dependent, not bugs.
- **Confirmed against the live Meesho API** that `authorLevel` and `authorFollowers` are no longer returned by Meesho (the `author` object now contains only `name` and `helpful`); these fields are retained for backward compatibility and documented as legacy/`null`, with no parse change.
- **Build hardening:** removed the deprecated `--no-optional` flag from the Dockerfile `npm install` step to keep builds reliable with current npm.
- **README refreshed to the gold standard:** real fresh-run output example, honest per-field coverage notes, corrected field reference, expanded FAQ, pagination/scale section and related-scraper links.
- No changes to input or output field names — fully backward compatible.
